At Mundy Cruising, we pride ourselves on taking time to get to
know you, to understand your preferences and learn about your
tastes, in order to be help you select the perfect trip.

As everyone is different, there is no 'one size fits all' answer
to the question "Which cruise line is the best for solo travellers?".
We do have a few recommendations though!

Best of the Best: Crystal Cruises

The all-inclusive 'Best of the Best' cruise lines are a good
choice if you are travelling alone. You avoid the hassle of
constantly signing for things, and also the embarrassment of
organising who is going to buy the wine at dinner, or host a round
of cocktails in the bar. You can flit from group to group without
feeling the obligation to return the kindness of a drink
bought.

Crystal is our top choice for solos for a number of
reasons: the ships are large enough to have a lot going on, with an
excellent selection of onboard activities, classes and
entertainment, and some great shore excursions. Large tables hosted
by officers and ambassadors are often available in Waterside and
the alternative restaurants have special solo nights to enable you
to join others and enjoy the fantastic menus in Prego and the
superb Umi Uma. Most importantly, solo fares on Crystal are very
attractive, with rates starting from just 15% single supplement on
certain cruises.

Best for river cruising: Tauck

River cruising is an excellent choice if you are quite a
traveller, and are seeking out ways to explore the world on your
own: from the safe environment of your river vessel, carrying you
from place to place as the perfect convenient base, you can sally
forth alone or with others to get to know the beautiful towns and
cities en route.

There are many options, but Tauck offer
meticulously planned itineraries and have unique relationships to
offer 'uncommon access' - experiences that you simply couldn't get
with another company. They also waive single supplements on their
lead-in room grade for all European river cruises.

Best for small ship cruising: Hebridean Island Cruises

Some people travelling alone prefer to avoid the very small
ships, for fear of being surrounded by couples. On Hebridean Princess this will definitely not be
the case: this tiny Scottish country house hotel at sea embraces
all its guests like old friends, and you will be welcomed as a
valued guest at a very special house party.

Those travelling alone dine at a hosted table in the centre of
the intimate dining room, having chosen one of the perfectly
designed single cabins as their comfy home from home. By the end of
the first day, you will be on first name terms with everyone.

Best for interesting itineraries: Voyages to Antiquity

If your idea of a great trip is to understand more about the
history, culture and natural wonders of the ancient world, then
Voyages
to Antiquity's little Aegean Odyssey could be for you.
Carefully crafted destination-rich itineraries and a stimulating
lecture programme on board ensure that your time on shore is as
rewarding as your time on the ship. Lecturers include historians,
professors, archaeologists and more, whilst sightseeing tours, land
stays and gratuities are also included.

Voyages to Antiquity is a great choice if you are travelling on
your own, with low supplements, dedicated single cabins and a
friendly atmosphere on board. As you'll go ashore on the included
shore excursions with the same group of people each time, it's
really easy to get to know your fellow passengers, whilst the
open-seating dining policy furthers the camaraderie.
